Occupant acceptance of discomfort in an atrium building: to sweat or to shiver [PDF]
This paper describes research into occupant use of two cafe/seating areas in an atrium building. In particular it deals with two issues: firstly the distribution of temperatures at different points and different floor levels in the atrium over a year;

Rate-dependency of action potential duration and refractoriness in isolated myocytes from the rabbit AV node and atrium [PDF]
During atrial fibrillation, ventricular rate is determined by atrioventricular nodal (AVN) conduction, which in part is dependent upon the refractoriness of single AVN cells.

Systematic Analysis of Gene Expression Differences between Left and Right Atria in Different Mouse Strains and in Human Atrial Tissue [PDF]
Background: Normal development of the atria requires left-right differentiation during embryonic development. Reduced expression of Pitx2c (paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2, isoform c), a key regulator of left-right asymmetry, has recently ...

Electrophysiological and arrhythmogenic effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine on human atrial cells are reduced in atrial fibrillation [PDF]
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is proarrhythmic in atrial cells from patients in sinus rhythm (SR) via activation of 5-HT<sub>4</sub> receptors, but its effects in atrial cells from patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are unknown.
